GIBSON SHIPMENT TOTALS & MODEL/FAMILY CODES

For ease in identifying current Gibson production guitar models, the Gibson Family Code (in parenthesis) follows the modelĀ“s name (in some cases, only the alphabetical prefix is listed, as the individual finishes and/or colors will result in the rest of the code). This also is true when brackets are encountered within a family code.
For anyone who is interested in individual Gibson model production totals from 1937-1979 (including guitars, basses, artist models, custom models, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, steel guitars, effects, and amps), please look at Gibson Shipment Totals 1937-1979 by Larry Meiners.
